This had me thinking about my bedroom wall of many moons ago. I spent my childhood falling asleep with John Taylor and Simon LeBon staring down at me (or at least I pretended they were). I LOVED posters – kids just do. I don’t know when we stop putting them up on our wall. Probably when we start trying to pretend we are grown up. I remember my cousin telling me that when she was working at a record company, one of the bands she was working with (Kajagoogoo) had a problem. The problem was their biggest fans were kids and kids didn’t buy records, they bought posters. So the album wasn’t selling but Limahl posters were everywhere!

As I got older the Duran Duran posters started to be replaced with Elvis Costello, Echo and the Bunnymen and the Cure – I still loved my posters but I was trying to be more edgy obviously. So tell me what posters did you have on your wall? How about your kids? Any Spice Girl fans? How about Simon LeBon?
